Ballot Paper Shortage Causes Brief Wait at Incheon Polling Station

A temporary shortage of ballot papers caused a brief delay for some voters at a polling station in Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, on June 3, the day of the local elections.

The incident occurred at the first polling station in Songdo 5-dong, where election officials noticed a potential shortfall and alerted the Incheon Election Commission. This led to a short waiting period for some voters.

Despite the temporary disruption, election officials confirmed that all registered voters were able to cast their ballots after the necessary ballot papers were transported to the station. The polling concluded around 6:14 PM, making Yeonsu-gu the last district in Incheon to finalize its voter turnout figures.

An official from the city election commission stated, "Voters all waited for the ballot papers to be transported and then voted normally," assuring that the issue was resolved and all citizens exercised their right to vote.
